Detailed description of the invention
Other purposes, feature, advantage and application option are referring to related attached drawing by being understood not to actually showing for limitation Generation is described below in example.Here, the feature for being described and/or illustrating is shown here by themselves or in any combination Disclosed purpose.The size and ratio of component shown in the drawings are not required in this case as equal proportion;They can To deviate with the content shown in the embodiment to be implemented here.
Fig. 1 is schematically illustrated in the traveling feelings that own vehicle is travelled in middle lane while monitoring subsequent wagon flow Condition.
Specific embodiment
Fig. 1 diagrammatically illustrates travel situations, under the travel situations, has vehicle ego (for example, motor vehicles) by oneself more It is travelled in the middle lane M of lane (being here three lanes) road.Other vehicles are located in other lanes.Other vehicles alter_ Thus 1 travels in left-hand lane L, second other vehicles travel in middle lane M, and other vehicles of third alter_n exists It is travelled in right-hand lane R.In the case where described herein, it is assumed that vehicle in each lane normal speed distribution (for example, for Continental Europe and the U.S.) so that other vehicles alter_1 is faster than own vehicle ego.
Vehicle ego is had by oneself with the control system with electronic controller ECU (electronic control unit) according to the disclosure. For example, this control system at least may be adapted to and be intended to the own vehicle ego of use environment sensor detection participation by means of ECU One or more other vehicles alter of subsequent wagon flow.For example, ECU receives signal from environmental sensor, these signals are handled With associated environmental data, and control and/or output signal are generated.In Fig. 1, disk section is indicated around own vehicle ego The multiple regions of form, the monitoring region for the radar sensor that multiple area identification is not described in further detail.Radar sensing Device provides the radar signal of the distance about other vehicles alter_1 to alter_n to electronic controller ECU.Accordingly, ECU can To calculate speed difference, other vehicles between own vehicle ego and corresponding other vehicles alter during specific monitoring period of time Direction of travel, and if applicable, also calculate rotation angle of other vehicles alter around its vertical axis.Alternatively, the letter Breath can also be calculated alternatively by radar sensor and be sent directly to ECU.
Environmental sensor continuously detect participate in front of own vehicle ego, one of lateral side and/or subsequent wagon flow or Multiple other vehicles alter, to determine the parameter of the travel situations about other vehicles.These parameters are for example including other vehicles Speed, change with the time position, driving direction.
It is described here and be suitable for and be intended for the control system in vehicle other than with radar sensor or replace Radar sensor also has other environmental sensors, ambient enviroment of the environmental sensor for example for detecting own vehicle ego And it is operated using different technologies (video, ultrasound, laser radar etc.).Electronic controller ECU processing is from being arranged in vehicle On the environmental data that obtains of environmental sensor (radar sensor), with determine whether another vehicle alter in same lane or There is what relative to own vehicle ego movement and another vehicle with what speed or with own vehicle in adjacent lane Speed difference.For this purpose, environmental sensor provides reflection vehicle front, lateral side and/or subsequent region to electronic controller ECU Environmental data.
In addition, control system or electronic controller ECU can detecte and any other vehicle alter is associated, the vehicle Alter is in the lane wherein travelled.The detection in corresponding lane is referred to come from the lateral distance of the longitudinal axis of own vehicle ego Occur.Controller ECU can determine the lateral distance by means of for example single environmental sensor, detect own vehicle ego Subsequent region 101.As shown in Figure 1, single environmental sensor can only monitor directly in the narrow region 101 of vehicle back and defeated Out about another vehicle alter being located therein to induction signal.The vehicle being fully located in the narrow region 101 can be identified For the vehicle in lane M identical as own vehicle ego.
Alternatively or additionally, single environmental sensor can be used also to determine lateral distance in controller ECU, monitors The side vehicle ego is had by oneself to subsequent region 102,103.If the environmental sensor is after monitoring is positioned to own vehicle ego The environmental sensor in the region 102 of left side of face, then left-hand lane L can be detected as and another associated lane vehicle alter. By determining the lateral distance to own vehicle ego, even if can also be identified and another vehicle in the case where multiple adjacent lanes The associated lane alter.For this purpose, can also be using the threshold value dependent on predetermined lane width come by lateral distance and the threshold Value detects the corresponding lane of another vehicle alter in the case where comparing.
Similarly, alternatively or additionally, multiple environmental sensors can be used to determine another vehicle in controller ECU The lateral distance of alter to own vehicle ego, such as one or more by means of the rear area 101 for having vehicle ego by oneself A sensor and one or more sensors at least one side zones 102,103.It is examined by using multiple sensors Another vehicle alter is surveyed, can detecte the position and associated lane of another vehicle alter.
In addition, controller ECU can determine the vehicle density of own lane M and/or at least one adjacent lane L, R.? It has been directed to and has participated in each after in addition other vehicles alter determines associated lane of wagon flow, can determine each lane or across complete The vehicle density in portion lane.The vehicle density in lane can mean that one or more vehicles are located at or not in the simplest case In the lane.Vehicle density can be assumed value zero (0) and one (1) as a result,.
Controller ECU is thereby adapted for and is intended to identify even empty lane, thereby determines that without other parking stalls in specific vehicle In road.This can be referring additionally to other vehicles alter to calculating each other and/or to the lateral distance of own vehicle ego.Even The object that in lane and/or side can be assessed is detected with the distance between other vehicles alter and/or own vehicle ego Whole lanes.In this case, it at the position in the independent lane of determination, can reuse corresponding to the predetermined of lane width Threshold value.
If it have been determined that the wagon flow of own lane and/or at least one adjacent lane as caused by other vehicles is close Degree, then control system or controller ECU can be based on identified vehicle density, and (i) output is about at least one adjacent vehicle The instruction of the safe or dangerous lane changing in the specific lane in road, and/or (ii) if identified vehicle density allow Safe lane changing then goes to the autonomous lane changing in the specific lane at least one adjacent lane by having vehicle ego by oneself.
It can be shown to the driver of own vehicle ego about the instruction of safety/dangerous lane changing, such as can be In display in instrument board, in rearview mirror (also inside outside mirror) and/or by means of after by suitable symbol to vehicle The projection of windshield and/or front windshield.Alternatively or additionally, instruction can also be exported in the sense of hearing or tactile.
Other vehicles alter during control system is further adapted for and is directed at predetermined time period or continuously is detected, is detected With the associated lane other vehicles alter, and determine vehicle density.In such a case, it is possible to come with time going by The travel situations of own vehicle ego and other vehicles alter are detected, and are assessed to determine time point about safety operation Travel situations are able to carry out the safe lane changing after this point.Predetermined amount of time can be set to certainly There is vehicle ego speed and changes.For example, the biggish period can be selected as the speed of own vehicle ego improves, with more The dangerous situation due to caused by fair speed is avoided well.
In another modification, control system is suitable for and is intended to for vehicle density being compared with threshold value, if wagon flow is close Degree is more than threshold value, then lane changing is evaluated as safety, and if vehicle density is lower than threshold value, such as illustrated above, will Lane changing is evaluated as dangerous and/or output instruction.
In order to determine that vehicle density, controller ECU assess the quantity of other vehicles alter of every predetermined segment.Environment passes Sensor usually has maximum detection range, thus has the maximum distance that can identify vehicle and/or object.The maximum identification away from From can be 300m for some systems.Therefore, predetermined segment can be determined as the maximum detecting distance by controller ECU.Separately Selection of land, controller ECU predefined section can be selected as with own vehicle ego velocity variations or with other vehicles One or more speed differences of alter and change.Be then based on detect in other subsequent vehicles of own vehicle ego The quantity of alter determines vehicle density.Vehicle density for example by by the quantity of detected vehicle divided by predefined section and/ Or it is calculated divided by lane quantity.
Calculated vehicle density is compared by controller ECU with threshold value now.The threshold value can be predetermined threshold, should Predetermined threshold can store in the way of it can be accessed by controller ECU as corresponding calculated vehicle density changes.Threshold Value indicates the feature of vehicle density, in the case where being higher than the vehicle density, as vehicle density increases, it is believed that is located at own lane Lane L, R safety beside ego.This specifically has following background: most of wagon flow in lane with vehicle density increase and There is lesser speed difference between own vehicle ego and other vehicles alter.Due to lesser speed difference, it is located at own vehicle Lane L, R beside ego and the lane changing about these lanes are safer.Under low vehicle density, Ling Yiche Alter can be easy with high speed difference close to own vehicle ego.In such a case it is necessary to will be close to own vehicle ego Lane think dangerous.This applies also for what quick other vehicles alter was not detected by any of environmental sensor Situation.
Addition or alternatively, control system may be adapted to and be intended to determine the vehicle density in each lane in lane, and If the vehicle density in each independent lane is more than threshold value, which is evaluated as safety, and/or if at least adjacent vehicle The vehicle density in road is lower than threshold value, then is evaluated as the lane changing dangerous.For this purpose, by by the spy in above-mentioned predetermined segment The quantity for determining other vehicles alter in lane calculates vehicle density divided by predetermined segment.In this case, also by wagon flow Density is compared with corresponding threshold value, and it is safe or dangerous to evaluate each lane.In turn, if vehicle density is greater than threshold Value, then it is assumed that lane safety, and if vehicle density is less than threshold value, then it is assumed that lane is dangerous.
Legacy system, which is only determined with the speed difference of other vehicles alter, alerts the driver of own vehicle ego about this It plants close to vehicle.For that purpose it is necessary to detect at least one other vehicle alter by least one environmental sensor, and in spy " observation " other vehicles during section of fixing time.Otherwise, speed difference only can be inaccurately determined very much.However, due to this point, Other vehicles alter is only just being be evaluated as risk for a long time later.
This control system provides on the other hand is assessed as lane about in the case where indefinite detection particular vehicle Safe or unsafe advantage.Thus, it is possible to avoid or reduce to collide have high speed difference with own vehicle ego anyway Vehicle.Equally, this control system can be for example used in autonomous driving vehicle, be become with can safely execute autonomous lane Change, such as independently overtake other vehicles manipulate when.
